My first book of the year 2017: The Industries of the Future by Alec Ross

The Industries of the Future by Alec Ross; my first book of the year 2017, a very informative, well researched and instructive book! Alec Ross explains what’s next for the world: the advances and stumbling blocks that will emerge in the next ten years, and how we can navigate them. I definitely recommend this book to everyone.

"Societies that do not overcome their negative cultural legacies regarding the treatment of women will founder in the next wave of innovation. The world's most restrictive countries have been absent from the most recent wave of innovation, and they will not be home to industries and businesses of the future without making real changes. Innovation doesn't happen in closed environments, and innovative companies will continue to steer clear of countries with regressive policies on gender." The Industries of the Future by Alec Ross
